Company Description: RevBio, Inc. is a medical device company pioneering regenerative bone adhesives to improve outcomes in fracture repair and bone fixation. The company’s flagship product, TETRANITE®, is a bioengineered “bone glue” currently under evaluation in multiple FDA-approved clinical trials and supported by a global patent portfolio extending through 2042. TETRANITE is designed for use across neurosurgical, orthopedic, and dental applications, targeting a total addressable market of over $10 billion. The adhesive offers rapid mechanical stability, wet-field adhesion, controlled biodegradability, and serves as a scaffold for natural bone remodeling. Founded on biomimicry of the sandcastle worm’s protein-based adhesive, RevBio focuses on translating simple chemistry into innovative solutions for complex musculoskeletal defects. Our team thrives on innovation, collaboration, and a shared passion for science that matters. At RevBio, employees enjoy a culture of curiosity, growth, and meaningful impact.
 
Role Description: The Research Chemist will be responsible for the characterization of TETRANITE® products across multiple projects and will work with fellow scientists to plan and execute these tasks. This individual will support the development of key test methods and validation activities. The Research Chemist will be required to follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) to conduct the necessary testing and analysis of experimental results, and will be required to present data to a cross functional team. The Research Chemist will also collaborate with the quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) team to perform analytical quality testing for raw materials, in-process manufacturing testing, and final finished product performance characterization and conformance testing. This individual will also interface with external collaborators and manage the data acquired from them.
 
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Design and conduct lab-based analytical characterization testing and the development of related test methods using techniques such as Liquid Chromatography;
  • Support development of, and execution of, test method development and validation by conducting in vitro tests;
  • Develop methods for analyzing and optimizing the release kinetics of various therapeutics from the product;
  • Perform testing and report the resulting data on both raw material components and final manufactured product using different analytical techniques and instrumentation;
  • Design studies to develop the most appropriate analytical tests to ensure compliance to product specifications documented within the RevBio Quality Management System (QMS); 
  • Review and curate the data from prior studies to isolate and identify trends and develop scientific justification for the use data to advance the understanding of this technology;
  • Develop test protocols that are consistent with applicable international and domestic test standards;
